Very good conclusion, I was not disappointed. Minor complaints about Susan's ending and the reliance of the Artist and the end, but otherwise, very enjoyable!

So much of the last book felt like King didn’t know how to tie up lose ends so he just rewrote his already pre-established rules. Doors are rare right? Roland first saw them on the beach after a thousand years wondering. Turns out they are everywhere, also some ppl can make them with their mind while others can just draw them. Why add the spider son? What did it add to the story? Why sideline Roland’s thousand year old nemesis for a crazy man on a balcony? Can’t bear him he’s throwing explosives, good thing there’s a new magic introduced right at the end that can just erase someone from existence.
